Tenant Creek

Hi, it is 2.40am and I am sitting in the bus at a BP service station. Not much roadkill on the way here, saw some cattle, but all were still on four legs. Other assorted lumps of protein were scattered along the road, mostly in lumps of 5 kg or less, some had fur attached. Weather still mild yet noticeably cooler in the wee hours. Listening to Sharon Shannon, an Irish musician along the way, strange how Irish music seems to fit in in any landscape. Not many on the bus, maybe 8 or 9, so not cramped for space. We stop a lot to drop of mail but can only get off about every 4 hours or so. From here next stop is about 7.30 am for breakfast then into Alice Springs about 9.15. Not much else to report except I did see a fire burning beside the road, looked surreal.
